You Have An Escape Hatch

Ever feel like the walls are closing in on you?  Ever get in a place in your life where you feel trapped by your situation?  After taking this thought into meditation, this is the answer I was given.  It really helps me.  See what you think.

In the meditation I asked what to do to get out of a situation where I felt trapped.  This is the image I saw.  In the image there was a room and the walls were slowly closing in on all sides making the space of the room smaller and smaller.  Panic set in.  A feeling of desperation took over.  I thought, I must escape before I am consumed by the room! 


Problems, bad habits, bills flooding in, insurmountable amounts of work that need to be done or any number of things that happen in life can make you feel like this guy.  Everyone knows the saying, "God does not give you more than you can handle!"  Okay, so how does one escape from the things that would entrap you in life?

In the meditation, when I finally took my focus from the closing in walls, I saw a place in the room where the walls were actually like a hologram.  They were there but not solid.  That was the escape hatch that God had built into the situation.  There is always a way out, a solution to every problem.



So in the meditation I asked, "How do I use my escape hatch?"  A scripture verse came to mind, "being absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."  To look away from your circumstances is to leave your body, the material world.  When you do this your focus is then on God, Higher thoughts.  The answer that came was to stop fighting the situation or praying for help in the situation.  The more you repeatedly ask for help or pray to receive help, the stronger the hold of the situation will have on your life.  It is like being caught in quicksand.  The more you struggle...the deeper you sink!  To find relief you must stop struggling and redirect your focus.  Remember that what you concentrate on will be attracted to your life.


Redirecting your attention to God, to those things that are just and true and lovely and virtuous, will open the escape hatch.  Redirecting your focus on God changes perspective and provides a new path filled with hope and love instead of fear and anxiety.  There is always an escape hatch.  The trick is to loose sight of what you think is wrong and focus and what you know in your heart is RIGHT.  Righteousness (right-thinking) always saves the day!

Silly Putty of the Soul...Bad Habits Are Meant To Be Broken

The big question is, "How, how do I turn myself around.?" Here is a very excellent article I found that is very helpful.  Please check it out. The Habit Change Cheatsheet : 29 Ways to Successfully Ingrain a Behavior This is from the article, "The simple steps of habit change : 1. Write down your plan . 2. Identify your triggers and replacement habits . 3. Focus on doing the replacement habits every single time the triggers happen, for about 30 days." Everything I found on the Internet seems to agree with these three steps so there must be merit in this.  Breaking strongholds in your life is not an easy task.  First you need to make up your mind that you want to make the effort to break the habit.  It is all about choice after all.  Habits are comfortable repeated actions that we consider our norm.  We all create habits, either good or bad.  Its the bad ones that should get attention if we really want things to change.  Einstein says th...

Silly Putty of the Soul...Being in Harmony with Ourselves

Image
As a child, my mother used to quote this poem to me on a regular basis.  It has always stayed with me and is one of my favorite sayings.  "Oh what a dangerous web we weave when we first practice to deceive."  It was my mother's way of teaching me not to tell lies.  Now many, many years later it comes to me that in order to avoid telling lies it is essential to avoid telling yourself lies.   Ghandi is quoted saying, "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."  Unfortunately, many of us have a tendency to fight with ourself, in effect becoming our own worst enemy.  To be in harmony with yourself is about being in harmony with who you are.    The minute you look at others who think, operate and live differently than yourself, you are judging who and what you are.  Judging yourself will put you out of balance.  Each of us is a unique individual who has different talents...

Silently Sending Love

Image
Love is one of the few things in life that gets greater the more you give it away.  In fact, without love there just is no life. If you live your life in a constant state of anger, greed, self-indulgence then you are not really living.  In truth, everyone needs a little love, a random act of kindness, a tender thought.  Each of God's creations have one thing in common.  All things were created by God, Divine Mind.  Being that God IS Love, then all things were created through Love.  We therefore all have the spirit of God within us and that is comprised of love.  Loving is then a natural state of being and something that needs to be shared.   It does not matter if you say something to someone but as you pass by another person you can always send them a silent message, a blessing of love straight from your heart to theirs.  Love is a high vibration and as you send it out you are sending out a strong vibration that will make a dif...
